compiz - Unity 3D not working no longer works after update


I've been using Oneric since the first beta version, and I'm using it on my Acer 5810TG laptop. Recently, though I don't know which day exactly, after performing routine updates from legit PPAs, Ubuntu started with Unity 2D only. Even if I pick "Ubuntu" or "User defined session" on the login screen, Unity-2D loads.
I have built-in Intel graphics which always worked fine with Unity 3D, both on early versions of oneric and on natty.


Please suggest any possible reasons and/or ways to fix this.



You can try installing the latest version of the drivers for your graphics.


A ppa with the newest drivers can be found here.


Add it with


sudo apt-add-repository ppa:glasen/intel-driver
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

install the xserver-xorg-video-intel using the command


sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel
